the post about the Music Drama Company auditions, Night and Day and Cathay chillout and the 14 hours of sleep. and waking up heartbroken

so i lugged all them back from offshore to mainland.
my metal cabinet is now almost empty.

i got blisters, cramps and aches just by carrying that sheer weight during my 2h30mins journey home.


yes, that is how long it takes me from that highly guarded offshore home of mine to this mainland abode i call real home.

its almost POP loh!
after 6 months [26 weeks of gruesome training].
i still remember that faithful 16th June 2008.
and now, i'm eagerly anticipating for 10th Dec 2008.

so it was the day already.
i went to MDC all by myself. no one wanted to follow although they claimed they really wanted to be in MDC.
i filled up the form, nervously.
apparently the only main experience i had was choir [02-04] and A Capella [05-06ish]

i placed my form at the Choir section.
and then i walked away. but 3 steps later, i u-turned and took my form away and placed it at the Drama & Dance section.

what that means?
it means that i have to audition for Singing, Hosting/Acting and Dancing.
plus, i went for their Script Writing.
all in all, it took me 4hours to finish the audition only.
they had wanted to see what our forte really was.
guess where i excelled in?




ouh, i was Number 7 by the way.
so after the auditions,

"can i have number 1,2,5,8 and 10?... you guys can go back already" the guy in charged said.
"does that mean we cant go for the interview?" number2 asked.
"its random and we dont have time to interview all" the guy said..in which i realised was a lie in the next hour


so all in all, after like at least 60 people, 9 were selected.
1 costume designer, 7 dancers and 1 singer.

i was kinda depressed knowing that i wouldnt be shortlisted
dang, chances were that slim.
i told myself, it was ok if i wasnt selected...
but hell yeah, i lied.
i was that 1 singer.

we were in the dance room. i was with all the shortlisted candidates. we were facing the bigshots.
"you guys are here because we happened to see something special that you guys have. something that we want. and some we arent a bit sure. so we are here to test you guys again."

"so can i have....number 7 to sing?"

and so i sang "Crazy" by Javier.
it was nerve wrecking but i think i did good. cos the whole room applauded.

"this was indeed, one of the better round of auditions compared that we had before. you all have passed. not excellent. excellent is when you come here and train with us"
________

"send him to the VE. [vocal ensemble auditions]"
the mainlady said.

so i went. that was at the 5th hour already.

so the guy played a string of notes and i had to hum out the right notes in rhythm.
and so i hummed as the guy who tested me played each scale.
as it got higher and higher, he said
"you can change to falsetto if you want to"

and i refused. i went up the scale higher.

"you can change to falsetto if you need" he reminded

and i still didnt.

after some pitching test...
"its clear that you're a tenor"

and then he wanted to hear my falsetto.

"sorry, i cant. sore throat"

and then i joined back with the 7dancers and 1 costume designer for the private interview.
"whoa. when you talk, you sound like an ogre, when you sing, you're like smooth... like an angel" breakdancer number 4 said

that was dope.

so we all knew what was coming.
it was hard for them to get us in.
cos we were either in Pes A or Pes B.
they needed the weakling Pes Cs.

so thus, i have to downPes.

and i know just the thing.
i've been putting it on reserve.
i have a severe case of skin irritation.
tsk tsk. i cant stand the sun and outfield. which is rather sad actually.
but oh well.

so from 9am to 3pm, i was there.
after that, met up with shawnrick and terence at Peninsula before heading to Just Noodles at Marina.
and so i rewarded myself with a brown skater shoes. something i am foreign to.

and then we headed on down to Night and Day Bar.
it was Jane's FYP.
David Cheng was there, D-fault, Kwizyne and Rapscallion was there to perform as well.
it was a nice chillout.

and then, we relaxed at SMU.. they drank their alcohol while i drank my 3 cans of energy boosters.
headed down to Cathay and drank some more randoms before heading for home at 2am.

and so after 14hours of sleep, my body is recharged.
but waking up from a sad tragic nightmare of a dream is downright a depressant.
cheers.
hugs and kisses to all the pineapple heads.

POP oh!
